The Board Meeting by Peter Mac
    Mono-rhyme Contest Winner 

As the only girl member I would have to apply,
All the skill I could muster; I'd have no ally,
So I went to the meeting, I at least had to try,
To fulfil the bet and make them all cry.

I turned to the speaker and asked him why,
He'd told the Board such a big fat lie,
He said he would marry, when he stroked my thigh,
But all he does now is deny, deny, deny.
He went red in the face and started to cry.

The next was the chief, I said he was high,
And looked so far gone he was starting to fly,
His shocked mouth hung open, he couldn't reply,
His head in his hands he started to cry.

The money-man next; I said, it's July,
But where is the money, there's things we must buy,
So tell where it's gone, he mustn't be shy,
He didn't, he couldn't, and I mustn't pry.
I just said "Ha-ha" and he started to cry.

The head of HR was a tough-looking guy,
I "hmm'd" for a second, then asked with a sigh,
What on earth he'd got up to when he went to Dubai,
The story I'd heard about him and the Thai,
I said he must say it, look in my eye,
But he ran out the room as he started to cry.

The security guard man looked evil and sly,
And easily bought for the cost of a pie,
I challenged the loss of our product supply,
"Please tell us the story", but he didn't comply,
He just let out a groan and started to cry.

The last man quite active, he thought to defy,
And leapt for my throat, I thought I would die,
I kicked in his jewels, or somewhere nearby,
And he screamed and jerked free and started to cry.

I collected my proof, the Directors gold tie,
Then helped myself to a whiskey and rye,
As I walked out the door I said my "Goodbye",
My mission accomplished, to make them all cry.

Author Notes
Directors beware ;)
Brings new meaning to the phrase "Above Board".
The photo - don't worry - it's not your eyes. I blurred out the people, just in case...
